PRESS COMMENTS.

Boston Traveller: fMr. Curtis, as an
officer of an army in time of war. had
pursued the course that be has travelled
~ politician during the last four years,
he would have been shot as q traitor TO
his country. Claiming to be Republi-
can, he was elected 10 the Republican
National Convention Of 1884. He knew
that Mr.. Blaine was prominent candi-
date, with more than an even chance OF
securing the nomination. When the
nomination had been made the conyen-
ton accepted II with unanimity. IfMr,
Curtis had objections to the candidate or
to the platform, then was the moment
for declaration. He stood mute, and
the presumption arose that he was not
guilty OF harboring any purpose to OPP
pose the action of the convention. His
subsequent career during the canvass is
we'll known to the country.
st. Louis Globe Democrat: There is q
chance, TO be sure, that the division OF
sentiment shown by the negroes in Tex
as on the prohibition question will be
maintained, to some extent at least. on
the strictly partisan issues of the future
and that thousands of colored men who
have heretofore been Republicans will
henceforth support the Democracy
This, however. which, by the way, II
not altogether improbable, would weak
en- rather than strengthen the the party
by driving over to the Republican,
large numbers of men who have bither
to voted the Democratic ticket because
of their prejudice against the negro, ant
their fear of negro domination, which
always appeared to them menancing Al
long as the negroes were united. II
any event the Prohibition canvass Cal
not fail to lessen the immense Demo
cratic majorities which, in recent years
have made 1t appear to outsiders tina
but one party was in existence in Texas
The state will be vastly benefited, il
both a monetary and moral sense, whel
it shall prove to the country that it ha
two parties instead of one.
Inter- Ocean: There is nothing depressin
in the financial outlook, but there ar
things worth considering very seriousl
by all people of moderate means. TIL
long drOuth has had its effects; some G
them already are felt, others will be
Milk, fruit, and meat are dearer tina
usual; -four is likely to be higher ne1
winter than last; coal is not likely to
cheaper; all these things are reasons fc
exercise of economy in minor expend
lures and from abstinence from labC
agitations. The man who is sure of a
income is foolish If he lets go of his Gel
tainty for a chance of better thing
Fortunately, clothing, furniture, an
most manufactured goods show no tenC
ency to higher prices. There is no reaI
: on why the coming winter should b
marked by unusual suffering among th
poorer classes, but there is good reaso
for the exercise of more than usui
economy. In other words, it woul
seem as if this were to be winter
which the grasshoppers will appreciat
the wisdom of the arts.

Reports from the Solar Eclipse.

Advice from China are to the eff
feet that at most of the scientific
stations whence the totality of the
eclipse of the sun August 10, could
be viewed, the result was very unsat
isfactory, more especially at Shira-
kawa, where the United States expe.
dition, under the direction of Pro
lessor Todd, was located. Twenty
minutes after the eclipse began the
sun was hidden by the Clouds, and
remained hidden during the total
eclipse. 1t was like dark night,
and the face of man standing ct a
distance Of three or four feet could
not be seen.

Harching Chickens by Hot Water

Aarcnlng CnlcKenS Dy AoG water.
We are very glad to announce
friend PASSWORDS prospect of better
success with a new incubator which
he has constructed. This incubator
is run by hot water. So was his first
one which proved failure, but the
water for the first was heated by a
lamp. The one last constructed is
supplied with hot water by heating
the water on the stove and pouring
the heated water into the reservoir of
the hatcher The incubator holds
about 80 gallons Of water. In order
to warm up the machine, it is sup
piled with hot water for several days
before eggs are put in 50 that uni
form temperature may be maintained
when the eggs are placed in the
drawers provided for their reception
and the proper, uniform temperature
maintained by drawing off pail fall
of water twice day and adding the
same quantity of hotter water. The
first trial of few dozens of eggs sue
ceeded in Matching fifty per cent
which, owing to the fact that the TEN
perature was not steady for the first
week, friend Passmore considers
quite successful. The incubator has
capacity of 225 eggs. He will
charge it Tor has done so by this
time) and start this automatic biddy
on her next brooding venture witt
full nest of eggs.

Manufacturing Interest

We would call special attention to
the call for public meeting to as.
semble in DIR. Kinks Hall on Mon
day evening next. to consider the
matter of establishing joint stock
company for the purpose of manu-.
featuring Birds cultivators and 9th.
er agricultural machinery. This is
very important step and ifpursued
with frmness and judgment may
lead to an industry of large proper
tons. The cultivator is one of the
most salable implements used by
the farmer, and within reach of all.
Thousands are sold of various makes
every Sc ason, and Birds cultivator
is ageneral favorite where ever it has
been tried beside others of that
class.
A manufacturing establish ment
such as contemplated, would if pr OPP.
erly developed add largely to the
population and hence to the business
of the place in few years; and
along with productive industry
would come an advance in real es-
tate. Other branches of productive
industry would be added, inviting
capital and population from other
quarters. There is no more eligible
place for a business centre than
Rising Sun, inland, in this or neigh
boring states. We hope there will
be large meeting and spirit OF
enterprise shown that will carry the
project to successful issue.

The whole field for acres around
the bridge oyer the Little river, in
Wilkes county, Georgia, is literally
covered with flint arrow and spear
heads, stone tomahawks, maces, bat
tle.axes. and almost every instrument
of crude Indian warfare. Besides
these are found many domestic
articles, as mortars and pestles for
MASKING corn, pots hewn out of solid
stone, and broken vases carved in
rare and curious designs. These
relics were. washed down from a
neighboring hill by the late freshet
and scattered over the field. On the
top of this hill, where the village was
supposed to haye been, was found a
large pile of broken and defective
arrow heads which seemed to mark
the spot where some old arrow.maker
had his shop, making arrows for his
tribe and receiving in return deer
bear, and other such game as the for.
